Are you struggling in getting your Google Adsense account approved? This Google AdSense Approval Guide 2017 will help you out in getting your Google Adsense application approved very easily. The actual time to get your application fully approved may vary from 24 hours to 7 days.

Google Adsense is the best and largest Ad network in the world. This is the only Ad network, through which you can monetize your blog/website content and/or YouTube videos, in a best and simple way. Well, everything about Google Adsense is simple and easy, except the approval process. Yes, getting a Google Adsense account approved is not an easy task. Even I struggled a lot while getting my account approved. And finally, in December 2013, I got my account approved 🙂 Yes, I remember that moment or relaxation and happiness. That said, hard work always pays, sooner or later.

The added benefit I gained was to actually understand the process of getting the account approved. And I felt very happy when I was able to get my cousin’s Google Adsense account recently, that was within 2 days. So here is the Google AdSense Approval Guide 2017 for you.

Things to be taken care of, before applying for a Google Adsense account:

Prefer using a custom Top Level Domain: Although I don’t have much idea whether it really impacts using a blogger blog for applying for an Adsense account, I really prefer using a custom TLD e.g. .com, .in, .net etc. Never apply using domains like .tk, .pk or sub-domains (e.g. domain.subdomain.com etc.). There are very less or no chances of approval using these domains. Please never use domain name, which looks like confusing, or domain spoofing.

Enough Quality Content: Before applying for an Adsense account, make sure you have enough good quality blog posts. Quality here means, the content should be genuine, unique, and should not be copied from anywhere. It is advised to have minimum 7-10 blog posts, with length varying from 300-600 words each.

Contact, Privacy, About Pages: Make sure your blog/site is having these pages, before applying for Adsense account. Although having these pages doesn’t impact much, but it puts a good value to your blog/site, and eventually the chances of getting your account approved increases. It is also advised to have a sitemap page for your site.

Theme/Template: The theme/template used for your site/blogs plays a very important role in the process of getting your Adsense account approved. I advise you to use a very clean and smooth theme design for your site. And take care of the navigation system of your site. Put appropriate navigation menu(s) on your site so that the user can visit any page of your site from any page. Make sure, no part of your site/blog remains unreachable. I have seen many applications getting rejected with the reason “Difficult Site Navigation“.

Author Name: If you are applying for an Adsense account using a blog, it is good practice to display your name as author to some posts/pages. Displaying an Avtar will be an added value. These things may look small or silly, but make your site look legitimate.

No other Ads: You can use other Ad inventories, along with Adsense for sure. But make sure there is no Ad placed on your site, from submitting the application, till your account is fully approved.

Considering these points will be more than enough for applying for an Adsense account. I may have missed something which you might be thinking of. Please do share them by dropping a comment. I’ll be happy to include the same in the article. Well, there are some myths about what to do or what not to, before applying for Adsense account. Listing down some of them might help you in removing your doubts.

Some Myths about Adsense application:

Using Hyphen(-) in domain name: Some people advice, not to use a hyphen(-) in domain name because it may have a negative impact in getting the Adsense account approved. Although this is really a good practice not to use a hyphen while choosing a domain name, there is no negative impact of the same for the Adsense application. My cousin’s domain name is consisting a hyphen (http://www.aha-life.in) and got approved easily in one go only.

Don’t use .in Domains: I have seen, some people advising not to use .in domain for applying for Adsense account as it is very hard to get it approved. Well, there is no such restriction. Example? again consider the same example as above.

Re-Submit the application after a specific period: Some people suggest that one should not re-submit the Adsense application for some specific period of time, say 6 months etc. Well, there is nothing like that. If the reason for rejection is very critical, let say “Site does not comply with Google Policies“, then you should check your site carefully before applying again. But what is the application was rejected because of “Difficult site navigation“? Well, you can make the appropriate changes, re-submit the application on the very next day, or even the next hour. There will not be any negative impact of doing so

Although I tried my best to write down my latest experience on getting an Adsense application approved, and tried to cover almost all the aspects, still I may have missed something. Whatever I have suggested here for an Adsense application, are based on my own experience, and there is no guarantee that following the aforementioned guide will surely lead to your Adsense application approved. If you are still facing issues in getting your account approved, feel free to contact me, by passing a comment, or sending an email. I’ll try my best to help you out.

I am thankful for my friend who invited me to join LiteracyBase. I actually heard about this site a few days ago, but have not made up my mind whether to join this or not. Glad that my friend recommended this to me, and I just joined yesterday.

Yes, I am still a newbie on this site. It did take me some time to get myself familiar with the site, but it didn’t take too long. I would like to share with you my first day experience in LiteracyBase, and hope my experience might give you some ideas or inspirations to join us and have fun here.

WHAT IS LITERACYBASE?

It is a site where we can write blog posts, participate in forums, express ourselves and share just about anything with others. Of course, for a better description, you can check out About Us page.

HOW DO WE EARN?

There are several tasks we can earn some rewards, such as logging in, updating our wall status (just like how we do in Facebook), commenting on forums and blog posts, sharing the posts in social media sites.

Two major tasks that help us to earn good rewards include writing blog posts and referring others to sign up.

Writing Blog Posts

The requirements for writing a blog post are quite simple: minimum 300 words, original content and the content should follow the site’s content policy. It isn’t too difficult to write a post with 300 words, sometimes you will just shoot over 300 words easily without even noticing it.

Go to Blog menu, then click on Post Now, there you can create your blog post. After submitting the post, it will be reviewed by the moderator. Once the post is approved, it will be shown in the Blog page. You can also check the status of the submitted post in your Dashboard.

Referral Signups

It is recommended to share your referral links to others, so you can bring in more members to the site. You will get a share of your referrals’ earned rewards up to 10% or more as referral commission. I think this is a really attractive bonus for us. You can get your referral link from your Dashboard – Profile.

To learn more about the rewards, you can go to Rewards menu, then click on Earn Rewards page. There you will get to see a simple video tutorial, and a list of rewarding tasks. Clicking on the task will bring you to another page that give you more details about the task, and how to work on it.

HOW MUCH DO WE EARN?

Our earnings will be updated at the top right corner every time we performed a task. This is really rewarding, as we know exactly how much we have made up to date.

I think there is no fixed rate for the task, especially the comment. As stated in the FAQ section, there is a complex algorithm to calculate the earning for each content, depending on the quality and quantity. Though I have no idea how the algorithm is, I believe when we are writing good quality content, our earnings will be better.

These are what I observed from my earnings so far:
Logging in: $0.01
referring a visitor: $0.001
creating a new group: $0.002
updating profile/wall status: $0.001
commenting in forum: $0.001 – $0.02
The earning for comment varies, I think this is where it depends on the quality and quantity.
I have not submit any blog post yet, so I am not sure how much we earn from a blog post.

HOW TO GO TO DASHBOARD?

It took me some time to figure this out. On the top right corner, under the earnings, you will see your avatar. Next to your avatar, there is a box greeting you “Hello“, then your name below it, followed by Log Out. Clicking on your name will bring you to your dashboard.

There you will see the following options:Activity: List out all the activities you have performed and also this is where you can update your wall status.Profile: You will get your referral link here, and also number of visitors & signups referred will be shown. Your current balance will be shown here too.Notifications: I guess this is where we always need to check and respond to, so it keeps the conversation going.My History: This is where it shows the individual earning for each task, so you can get a picture how each task worths, and you know how you can improve to get better earning for each task.Settings: Here you can change your settings, especially the email settings. You can choose how you want to be notified via email.

Other options available in the dashboard include Messages, Friends, Groups and Forums.

HOW DO WE GET PAID?

Payment method: PayPal or Payoneer.
Minimum payout: $10

I am happy that the minimum payout is considered quite low. I am hoping I can make my first redemption very soon, and I can tell everyone out loud this site is legit and paying!

Another advantage of this site is there is no daily limit. You can participate as much as you want and thus earn as much as you can.

Though I have joined LiteracyBase for only a day, I enjoy spending my time here, especially with other active members around. I think it is worth to give it a try, no matter how, we are not losing anything. We still have fun, we still learn and we still make friends with others around the world. Let’s give it a try!
